All Europe is under bonds to keep
the peace. Germany has an Emperor
and his heir both near unto death;
France is on the verge of 4 reyolu-
ton; England has Ireland by the
ears and dare not let go; the Gar is
busy watching the nihilists. This
state of affairs is not a comfortable
one, but il is better than universal
war.

A GOLD mine containing fabulous
wealth Is said to have been discoy-

the Doctor, it is reported, has ex-

THERE is something about anarchy
singuIarly attractive to women.
Spies had his Nina; Lingg lady
friend fair to look upon; Herr Most
was once hidden from the police
under woman's bed, and now
another comes to the front to bail
him. The fair sex have always had
ionduess for parrots, pug dogs and
ether ugly pets, but they should
draw the line at lizards and an

TaE sudden fall of the tempera-

Saturday night, under the influence
of an old-fashioued blizzard, was
really the hrst severe wiHtry weather

ONE who has recently looked into
our foreign diplomatic and consular
service declares that the number Of
unfit, loaferish and no-socouat men
among President Cleyelsnd's APP
pointees to that service is disgrace
fully large. The President and his
Secretary of State are apparently
either ignorant or reckless of the
fact that the character of eur coun-

great measure judged abroad by the
character of our accredited official
representatives.

A Bad Wreck.

ALLENDALE, Ont, Dec. ia serious
collision occurred Oh the Northern rail
way yesterday. A special freight train
from Hamilton was doing some SWITCH
ing in the yard here, and through some
error on the part of the en-
gineer switching the semaphore
was not raised until the express from
the north had passed it. and it came
laundering along at the rate of thirty
miles an hour and crashed into the
freight with shock that could be heard
mile away. Both engines were
badly smashed. the freight engine
being almost completely demolished.
the tender of the freight engine up
ending, making kindling wood of box
car, while the tender of the express en-
CINE wrecked the baggage car.
A number of persons received slight
bruises. The only seriously injured,
however. was Thomas Moore. the en-
gineer of the freight, who was caught
in the wreck and had his leg broken in
several places. He is in critical con-
ditiOn.

CLERICAL ICONoCLAsTs.

Rev. JOHN HALL, of New York, heads
band of ministerial brethren ell
gagged in the ineXcusable task of root
ing out from the minds Of children the
long-cheriShed tradition of SANTA
CLAUS annual coming at Christmas
tide. By what peculiar process of rea-
sOning they can justify this action it is
difficult to understand, though Mr.. HALL
declares that he can see no reason for
telling children lies about Il foolish and
imaginary parsonage.
Doubtless the cerebral development
of the good Mr.. HALL and his associates
is something of which the average
mortal must perfOrce stand in awe; but,
for all that, their brain power might
have been exercised to better purpose
than in the destruction of an innocent
myth. which has brought happiness to
thousands and hundreds of thousands
of innocent childish hearts. Time, the
greatest icOnOclaSt of all, is great de-
stroyer of illusions. and those which
childhood fondly cherishes disappear
soon enough without other assistance.
No picture possible to the youthful i'm
aginatiOn is cOnjured up with more de-
light than the vision of the mysterious
SANTA CLAUS, laden with choice and
coveted gifts, coming to reward those
who deserve his favOrs.
Even those children OF a larger
growth whose childhood is only seen
far Of down dim vista of weary years
can not fail to recall the feeling of
painful disappointment that accom-
panied their first knowledge of the fact
that SANTA CLAUS was but 1.-The baSelesS
fabric of a DREAM and, however sub
Stantial the gifts supposed to be dis
tributed 10y him, had no real existence.
Invested of the delightful mystery
which. TO the childish believers in SANTA
CLAUS, surrounds the coming of Christ
mas. the gifts which arrive in a seem
ingly miraculous way would not be
half so enjoyable.
1t is all innocent superstition which
harms nobody. and the clerical iconO-
clastS who i'll seeking to destroy it
would diminish the pleasures of child
hood might be in better business.
There are other myths more worthy of
their jealous pens.

DEFINING THE ISSUE.

The Republican clubs had quite
''hoOralr yesterday. 1t is often the
case at political conventions that there
is more enthusiasm on the second day
than tie first. The members are gener-
orally in a more enthuSed condition.
That accounts for some of the ''whOOp-
ing up style of the proceedings yester-
day. Wine is a great siimulator of
courage anyway.
But the main development in yeSter-
days proceedings was that this Repub-
lican club convention was just what the
GLOBE said it would be-a BLAINE Or
ganization. a little taffy was handed
around TO SHERMAN and ALLISON and
HAwLEY and the other presidential as
pirants, Just to.keep them in a good
humor, but it took the mention
of BLAINE'S name to excite a tempest
of applause. That was what the boys
were there for, to boost BLAINE, and
they did their work well. The platform
adopted by the convention is BLAINE
from beginning to end. 1t is all bloody
shirt and protection. The tariff resolu-
tons are only a reiteration of Mr..
BLAINE's famous interview, in which
he so promptly took up the gauntlet
that Nh CLEVELAND threw down. The
result of this convention of Republican
clubs will be the perfecting of an organ
ization which will make Mr.. BIAINE'S
denomination an assured fact, and the
adoption of protective tariff platform
in opposition to CLEVELAND and his
tariff reform principles. 1t only con-
firms what the GLOBE has heretofore
said, that BLAINE and CLEVELAND are
to be the leaders again. and that the
contest is TO be confined to the single
issue of the tariff. We are gratiiicd to
see it resolved into that shape, for it is
time that the people of this country had
an opportunity to express verdict
upon question of such mOmentous
national concern.

Cushion CarOmS.

Only one favorite was successful in
the billiard tournament last evening.
Hayward scoring decisive victory over
Smith by score of s. to II, making an
average of 21s. The latter was more
successful, however,, in his contest with
Lou BenSinger, whom he defeated by a
score of 45 to SO. Miller and Cohn then
crossed cues, and after an interesting
exhibition the former came off victorious
making the required 90 while his oppo-
nent could only muster 81 points at the
finish. This evening it will be settled
who is to have second and third places
in the tournament when Hayward with
seven victories to his credit and Mallctte
with six victories come together for the
first time. Steve is conceded odds of
Is, the handicap beng Hayward IS
and Mafiette 20.

FOR HEATING CARS.
Various Opinions of the Proper
Method of I'll eating Cars.

Method of Heating Cars.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-In answer to
a resolution adopted by the house at the
close of the last session, the secretary of
the treasury to-day sent to that body
communication embOdying the results
of the inquiry made by the supervising
inspector general of steam vessels into
the methods of constructing and heat
ing passenger cars and steamboats,, so
as TO prevent loss of life and property by
fire. The secretary says that a circular
was sent out in February last, inviting
suggestions from car builders and per-
sons competent to give information on
the subject. Two hundred and sixteen
answers were received, which were class
flied as follows: Twenty eight contem-
plated heating cars by steam from the
locomotive; twelve, heating by hot air
from the locomotive; twenty three. heat
ing by heat from an Independent car;
twenty-SiX. heating and lighting by cleo
tricity; fifty-fOur, heating by improved
heaters or stoves in cars; eight, preven-
ton of disaster by acid by means of
specially constructed safety cars; one,
heating and lighting by gas, and eighty
four, miscellaneous.
The supervising inspector general re-
ports that many of the plans presented
are, i'll his Judgment, theoretically
adapted to reduce to the minimum the
danger of loss of life and property by
fire on railroad cars, yet he is not pre-
pared to say absolutely that they are
practically so, for the reason that no
provision was made in the resolution of
congress for the expenses that would
necessarilybe incurred in the conduct of
practical experiments.

FEARFUL EXPLOSION.
Several Persons Killed by a Boiler
EXPLOSION.


WEST CHESTER, Pa. Dec. 16.-An eX-
plOsiOn of a twenty-horse power boiler
in the Edison Electric company'S works
this afternoon caused the death of five
persons and injured three others. The
boiler was lifted from its foundations
and propelled thirty feet, passing
through the base of stack ninety
feet high, which instantly fell. and
Supt Walter Embree was engaged with
a force of men close to the stack unload
ing new boiler and the whole party
was buried beneath the falling bricks.
ReScHing parties were Immediately Or
ganized and the bodies of Embree and
the laborers, ElwOod Breckett,
John Bradley and Samuel Weber
were taken out. Edward Schofield,
a labOrer, was badly Scalded. William
Allison. labOrer, and William II.
Richardson, foreman, were found still
alive, though more or less injured. The
ten-year-Old daughter of William Jones
was returning from school, almost a
square from the scene, and was in
stantly killed by flying beam. Large
pieces of iron were thrown great dis
tances, and descending passed through
the roofs of houses. All property in
the vicinity suffered. 1t is thought all
the bodies are not yet recovered. A
large force of men tonight are digging
over the ruins by lantern light. The
streets are enveloped in darkness. The
works are badly wrecked. Clerk OF
Courts d. o. Taylor, who was at the
works few minutes previous, has not
since been seen, and it is feared he is
also beneath the ruins
